About me
I am a graduate of architecture specialising in emergent technology and its application as a critical design tool.
For the last few years, I have diligently studied, steadily expanding my horizons and abilities as much as possible.
My background is interestingly varied allowing me to draw on numerus experiences, all of which have distilled in me a
high-level of patience and endurance that can be applied to any challenge.
My creative abilities are built on a mixture of ever-expanding technical skills and imaginative critical thinking.
This means I can explore, assess and adapt to any emergent requirements that might arise. One of my strongest assets is my competence and versatility within the domain of software and applications. As can be seen in my CV, I know a huge range of programs and can deploy them as required to tailor my workflow process to any necessities.
Recently I have specialised in the application of machine learning techniques for design and fabrication purposes.
My current research focuses on how artificial intelligence can be deployed for the implementation of new approaches towards manifesting subjective narratives with reference to the biases contained within datasets.
This is an ingenuitive undertaking which makes possible more inclusive and representative discourse than has previously
been conceivable to realise.
Understanding the embeddedness of anecdote within every aspect of our constructed environment has always been central to my approach towards the discipline of architecture. In the words of Donna Haraway “It matters what stories make worlds; what worlds make stories.”
